Yes, that dialog.
It's hard to explain in detail. The dialogs and markers behave a bit random ...
Or maybe I just don't understand how they work. Anyway I'll try:
In print view:
Click red mark.
Hint Slur Position
The info window appears, I keep this dialog open.
"First click on the note head of the note where the slur starts. "
It seems:
a) If I click on a note (where the slur really starts, or where I would like
the slur to start), it sets the end marker too, sometimes random or far away
outside the page.
b) If I click on the stem or above/below the note (where I want the slur to
start), it works better. I get visible start and end markers = blue cirkels.
Not always where I expected them.
c) I didn't have to click the red cross. Click anywhere on the slur also seems
to work.
The info window says: "Now drag the begin/end markers to suggests slur
position/angle. Right click when done."
I drag the blue cirkle up/down.
On drag-release the "Slur Angle/Position Yes/No" often comes up. Sometimes on
the second drag-release.
The result on "right-click when done" is that the slur moves a bit though
usually not like I expected.
I also find it unclear what the blue cirkles are for. Why set these start/end
markers at various notes when it doesn't affect the start/end of the slur?
I know this may be hard to change :-) but an idea to make this easier to use is:
- Use the existing red cross, drag them to change start/end slur and
size/shape.
- See end result directly. No popups.
- Drag entire slur over the staff to change position from under to over.

No idea. It was automatic.
